Racing Comes To A Close – For This Year

The year comes to a close for Nascar’s 2013 racing season. Despite the grumbling and hysterics on Twitter, I think it was an interesting and exciting year. But then I’m a race fan, not a fair weather fan.

I’m not so quick to blame Nascar for the poor attendance and lower TV ratings. People who do this don’t understand how much the Great Recession has hit this country. Many of us are still struggling to recover and we can’t afford our season race tickets. And for many of the races, require cable/dish to view. That too costs money many don’t have. But that’s a different story.

PanthersWeek 11 Overview

I am now 1-six hunnit and fiddy on bets that Denver games will go under. Got one. I also gained 520% on gambling overall. Hard to believe because I got most of the fricken winners wrong.

I nailed the Giants game. Not too hard, I’m sure Eli and the boys were looking for little kids and kittens to beat up. Nice of Oakland to satisfy that. Not that it was a beating really.

Not a bad week of picks; at least I broke even. My Skins lost, that was disappointing. How Tennessee lost to Jacksonville is beyond me.  Cincinnati came down to overtime. But truth be told, I don’t mind losing that pick. I love Baltimore!

The BIG shocker for me was Evil’s Panthers beating San Francisco. What in the world happened there? Are the Panther’s that good? Or did San Francisco assume that game would be a walk in the park and took it for granted? Part of me hopes they’re that good. But my gut tells me the 49’ers took it for granted on top of traveling cross country to an earlier time zone.

I’m glad Arizona squeaked out their win. I don’t think they played up to their potential against Houston. That or Houston has finally got their act together again. Continue reading →
